They are better coached.Wisconsin won this game. We did what we could,but they are the better team .
No we didn't. Missed a ton of layups and free throws. Rebounding was terrible too. We beat ourselves.Wisconsin won this game. We did what we could,but they are the better team .
It’s the exact same teamWe had 6 B1G losses last year. Crazy
They were better in the Mackey game (I think they snuck up on us a bit that game) but tonight... man, that's just an evenly matched team catching the breaks.Wisconsin won this game. We did what we could,but they are the better team .
First post. Troll. Get the Fock out of here.Damn, Painter sucks. So sick of Purdue choking every step of the way under coach Painter
similar to psu's football season this past yearMake free throws and rebound. We win easily. This team hit their ceiling way to early it seems.
We know how that ends alreadyStarting to think we should foul when the other team has the ball with under 10 seconds left and the game is tied.
FT's were the differenceMake free throws and rebound. We win easily. This team hit their ceiling way to early it seems.
They missed their share of bunnies too, but I’ll give you this, if we hit our free throws, we would have made it a better game. They got those rebounds because they are really good at it.No we didn't. Missed a ton of layups and free throws. Rebounding was terrible too. We beat ourselves.
I'm not going to worry about the tournament, anymore. I'm just going to expect to get beat by some low seed on a last second 3.We put ourselves in this situation. I'm worried for the tournament. Just don't have the heart to punish people. Gard has figured it out and deserves B1G coach of the year.
Do you honestly believe they are better by position? Or better coached? Serious question. We have more talent, but don't play like it. Is that from our coaching staff.Wisconsin won this game. We did what we could,but they are the better team .
Gimme a break. They banked in their last 2 shots.Not making it out of the 1st weekend in NCAA tournament.
Losing 1st game of BTT
This is the Way. The Purdue Way.
Ivey could have been a little closer to that butterballAdd another last second 3 pointer to Purdue's total. Might as well foul immediately at this point. At least save time on the clock.
Other than the Michigan game, all of our losses were close and kind of heart breaking. Maybe the basketball gods are lowering our expectations right before the tournament so it can be that much better when we win it.How sad.How often does a team lose two in a row on the road on a game ending shot.GEESHH.This sucks.
Who is the leader on this team is going to get pissed off and rally the troops?I'm not going to worry about the tournament, anymore. I'm just going to expect to get beat by some low seed on a last second 3.
I really wouldn't mind this team getting a little pissed off and breaking it off in Wisconsin in the BTT. That would ease the sting a bit.![]()
Idk what games you’ve been watching recently but Williams hasn’t been the leading rebounder in a game for a while.We are really missing Williams rebounding at the end of this game. He clears out better than anyone on our team.
They can have the BIG champ, their team is built to win BIG games, but Purdue is better built to win in the NCAAs.I really, really hate Wisconsin. Can they go back to sucking for awhile yet? What was their preseason ranking this year? I don't recall many expecting much of them, but I might not have been paying that close of attention. 11-20 from the line is a killer in a close game.
If you think that this game really hinged on those last 2 luck shots, you and I watched different games.Gimme a break. They banked in their last 2 shots.
I don't know... we played them closer this time than last (and on the road, no less). I won't argue we've gotten better, but this team can lose by a last second three to anyone.Wisconsin has gotten better as the season has gone on. We have gone backwards.
Or we are getting all of the bank shots and 45 footers out of the way in the regular season.Other than the Michigan game, all of our losses were close and kind of heart breaking. Maybe the basketball gods are lowering our expectations right before the tournament so it can be that much better when we win it.![]()
Yep. My expectations for this time have dropped a lot. After the first few months I was the most excited about this team than I have ever been. Not anymore though. SucksI'm not going to worry about the tournament, anymore. I'm just going to expect to get beat by some low seed on a last second 3.
